HAND MADE BEDSHEETS (RALLI)
















HISTORY OF RALLI


A normal Ralli Quilt is a textile jewel finished with physical and spiritual labour or done with hand and mind putting in almost 180 hours, 10800 minutes or 648,000 seconds of labour by a woman artisan. In ancient Indus civilization, a Ralli Quilt was also a textile currency like other valuables. Woman starts making Ralli Quilts in early age as part of their dowry. The poor artisans used to make Ralli Quilt as gifts for the occasion of marriages and births of the elite families. In return, they were given a buffalow, a cow or a goat as Kheer Piyarini or to provide a permanent milk source for the artisans family. This tradition continues in Sindh, especially in Thar Desert too. Ralli Quilts is an initiative launched in cooperation with some Fair Trade Shops in the world to give an international exposure to the illiterate artisans living in stark poverty conditions in villages dotting the desert. The textile craft lovers can now order the Ralli Quilt artisans living thousands of miles away to make a dream piece for them while sitting in their offices or homes. It is just a rebirth of Kheer Piyarini tradition. You can order now Ralli Quilt Gift Sets for a baby before his birth or for the wedding of your loved ones. Let the Thar Desert artisans also share this beautiful world.

SALT LAMPS




WHY USE SALT CRYSTAL LAMPS?

For centuries people know about ability of Salt Crystal Rock to improve air qualities by enriching air with “Negative Ions " and ionized air beneficial to humans. Salt Crystal Rock and lamps made from Salt Crystal Rocks are natural air ionizers. Negative Ions produced by Salt Crystal Lamps effectively, and naturally improve the quality of the air by producing negative ions - the "Vitamins Of The Air". Negative ions can be found in nature, concentrated in air by the billions; on Mountain Tops after Thunder Storms, near water falls, forests, and by the Sea. Negative Ions give the air its invigorating freshness, airborne bacteria free, clean which is so beneficial for humans especially for children.

Non-illuminated crystals (cool Salt Crystal, underground Salt Mines) produce Negative Ionizing effect, however the Salt Crystal Lamps which are illuminated from inside with a lamp (warm Salt Crystal) produces and emits a higher number of Negative Ions and delivers a more efficient Ionizing Effect. Today, the health benefits of Negative Ionizers are well recognized all over the world.

The Salt Crystal Lamps are a beautiful, less costly, maintenance free, natural alternative of Mother Nature's to improve air quality.

Beside Air Ionization and Negative Ions production, Salt lamps Illuminated by a light bulb, also produce a beautiful, pleasant to the eyes, mind, and sole, natural Glow of different colors and shades from orange to yellow. This Light Color Glow and Ionized, Clean, Fresh Air create a special atmosphere of calming meditative balance, tranquillity, peace and well - being for humans.

Many people in Europe USA and Australia are aware of the benefits of negative ions to our health. These negative Ions are essential for our health and well being. The freshness of the air after a thunderstorm, on a mountain top, or by the seaside, are due to the high concentration of negative ions in the air. On the other hand, the reduced well being one feels in highly polluted areas, cars, factory smog, artificially air conditioned offices, or when certain hot dry wind conditions exist, are usually due to an unduly low negative ion balance (and therefore high proportion of positive).
